Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• No visible spark at the affected burner electrode
• Delayed ignition after turning the burner knob to Lite
• Weak or intermittent ignition after a spill or cleaning
• Surface burner fails to light even though other burners operate normally

Check Before Replacing

• With the burner controls off and the appliance cool, confirm the burner cap and base are seated correctly and centered.
• Inspect the electrode tip and ceramic insulator for visible moisture, grease, heavy residue, cracks, or breakage.
• After ensuring the area is fully dry, observe from a safe position while briefly turning the affected burner to Lite; check whether a spark is visible at the electrode tip. Do not touch the burner, electrode, or metal parts while energized.
• If the burner clicks but does not light, verify that the burner ports are clean and that the gas supply is available; these conditions can mimic an electrode failure.
• If the affected burner has no spark while other burners spark normally, inspect the electrode lead connection only with power disconnected and the controls off.
